So... You're a Cartoonist? is a webcomic started by Tom Preston (real name Andrew Dobson) in 2011. SYAC is a comedic autobiographical comic about Tom Prestons life as an unemployed cartoonist and the challenges he faces day-to-day both on and off net.

Until June 2015 it was available on the artist's DeviantArt page but is now only being updated on his website.

invokedCaptain Obvious Aesop: Brought up in this strip. Preston says he's thinking of making a comic addressing terrorism or gun control. His friend argues that criticizing something everyone already hates takes no real effort. Preston thus decides to give himself a challenge and deliberately unleash a flame war... about Mario.

Caustic Critic: Preston has both tangled with them over his own work and been one himself.

It Makes Sense in Context: In one strip, his roommate abruptly ran into their room and screamed "EAT THE PENCIL! RUNNING LIKE A DOG!" The next day it was made all clear; his roommate was referring to a new invention of his, a model car that could transform and grow legs if you stuck pencils in it.
